Effects of Type I Migration on Terrestrial Planet Formation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Planetary embryos embedded in a gas disc suffer a decay in semimajor axis -- type I migration -- due to the asymmetric torques produced by the interior and exterior wakes raised by the body (Goldreich & Tremaine 1980; Ward 1986). This presents a challenge for standard oligarchic approaches to forming the terrestrial planets (Kokubo & Ida 1998) as the timescale to grow the progenitor objects near 1 AU is longer than that for them to decay into the Sun. In this paper we investigate the middle and late stages of oligarchic growth using both semi-analytic methods (based upon Thommes et al. 2003) and N-body integrations, and vary gas properties such as dissipation timescale in different models of the protoplanetary disc. We conclude that even for near-nominal migration efficiencies and gas dissipation timescales of ~1 Myr it is possible to maintain sufficient mass in the terrestrial region to form Earth and Venus if the disc mass is enhanced by factors of ~2-4 over the minimum mass model. The resulting configurations differ in several ways from the initial conditions used in previous simulations of the final stages of terrestrial accretion (e.g. Chambers 2001), chiefly in (1) larger inter-embryo spacings, (2) larger embryo masses, and (3) up to ~0.4 Earth masses of material left in the form of planetesimals when the gas vanishes. The systems we produce are reasonably stable for ~100 Myr and therefore require an external source to stir up the embryos sufficiently to produce final systems resembling the terrestrial planets.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
